We met at my sister Tamisha's birthday party. Mark was a gentleman and asked to play the next game of pool (billiards). I happily accepted seeing that he fit the bill -- over 6' and 200 lbs. So I was extremely happy to know he was interested in me. As he walked to my car, he expressed how much he wanted to keep in touch, as I headed to another event in NYC. I called him the next day on my way to my Sundays with My Daddy and we talked for the entire one-hour trip there and back. We stayed on the phone for hours everyday for the next two weeks. Then on our first date, October 21, 2004, we officially became a couple. We've been connected as friends ever since: Two Hearts become one.... TWO LIVES SOMEHOW BLEND THROUGH LIFE'S STRUGGLES TWO PEOPLE STAY PARTNERS AND FRIENDS!!!! We believe we were meant to be, to work through hard times and learn how to overcome and stay strong. We believe we were meant to love each other, to laugh together, to get better as the days go by. We believe we were always meant to be. & We always will.
